Microsoft discontinues support for answer files (unattend.xml) in Windows Deployment Services (WDS): Reasons and alternatives
Microsoft is disabling hands-free WDS deployments that use unattend.xml answer files due to security concerns (CVE-2026-0386), with the feature first warning after January 2026 updates and then being turned off by default from April 2026. However, it can still be re‑enabled via a registry key, and alternative WinPE-based methods remain supported for Windows 11 deployments.

Unofficial AppImage Lets You Run Canva’s Affinity on Ubuntu
Linux lacks native versions of industry-grade creative tools like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and while open-source options are capable, not everyone is willing to relearn and adapt to different tools. Thankfully, the gap in commercial design software is plugged with workarounds involving Wine, the Windows compatibility layer – which is how you can run Affinity v3 on Linux. Affinity, acquired by Canva in 2024, moved to a freemium model in 2025. Photo, Designer and Publisher tools were merged into a unified app and made free to download and use on Windows and macOS (generative AI features cost, but are optional). […]

Godot 4.6
Состоялся выпуск Godot 4.6 — кроссплатформенного игрового движка с открытым исходным кодом.
В Godot 4.6 по умолчанию используется физический код Jolt, который был экспериментальной опцией ещё в версии 4.4.
Новая версия вносит существенные изменения в код для экранного пространства (SSR), что значительно улучшает качество отражений.
Еще одно фундаментальное изменение — это появление LibGodot, библиотеки, позволяющей встраивать движок в ваши собственные приложения. Нативная поддержка OpenXR 1.1 — еще одно дополнение для Godot, в Windows теперь используется Direct3D 12 в качестве рендеринга по умолчанию.
В редакторе Godot 4.6 появилась новая «современная» тема оформления в дополнение к классической. Также в Godot 4.6 улучшена документация и внесены другие усовершенствования для помощи разработчикам игр.

Trust Through Certification (TAC) for Microsoft Teams: Apps to consider allowing, compliance filter, Microsoft certified apps collections
Microsoft has introduced trust-based enhancements to the Teams Admin Center (TAC), designed to simplify app security and compliance management for IT administrators. These updates, known as Trust Through Certification, enable you to quickly identify trusted applications, enforce organizational standards, and streamline governance workflows through features such as "apps to consider allowing," security compliance filters, and Microsoft-certified app collections. The enhancements build on existing foundational features while adding dedicated trust indicators that consolidate security signals in a centralized dashboard. You can now evaluate apps based on industry-standard certifications without leaving the Teams Admin Center, reducing the time spent on manual reviews and cross-checking vendor documentation.
